yes, i did talk to Barbossa. in fact, what REALLY happened, was that i left the tavern, completely forgot about the comical duo, went all the way to Isla de Muerta, got to land, started to get curious, turned round and spoke to Barbossa, got reminded, sailed all the way BACK to Tortuga, went to the tavern, left it, talked to Barbossa again [which sparked a humorous remark by Jack over the possibility that Barbossa loved Pintel], left, went to the back of Tortoga port, into the town itself, found Ragetti, and spoke to him. Pintel wasn't present, and as such, when Ragetti trailed off, there was nobody to continue for him...
